I do have a lot of gear, but not everything. When I was in the Gear Acquisition Mode (income bracket), there are some very useful items that just never occurred to me to purchase, because I usually bought something when I had a project in mind. Now, that retirement has imposed itself upon me, I must make do or invent.

I have not done any macro work, in a while, because if I want to do it right, it requires a proper, well thought out set up, gathering all the camera accessories, such as attaching a Nikon DR-5 Right Angle View Finder Magnifier, which requires the Eyepiece be unscrewed and carefully set aside so I can find it again, and a Nikon MC-30 Remote Shutter Release, and the Nikon R1C1 Kit. That is before Expoure Settings and all are set. So, a proper job takes consistent effort and proper components, time and heaps of patience. Less, produces mediocre results.

By the way, initial rough focus was achieved by using a small flashlight ("torch" translated to Queen's English).

Magnifier is kind of cool here.

It is our local bakery and the products are top notch (which is why the shelves are so empty).

Kind of cool with the magnifier.

Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly! group. This week's assignment: Bokeh

Swore to myself to really get active again. So the topic "bokeh" was perfect for some experiments. I actually took nearly 200 photos (at some point you get desperate if the result is not what was made up by your mind) and then went to bed. Today after a night's sleep I was reviewing my trials and reduced down to 6 photos. This is the one that represents my idea best.

What it took: Taken with the magifier and the camera on two tripods and my fiberglass lamp (as seen here) as subject. I fired a decent flash to the ceiling as well to get a sharp structure and some highlights on the magnifier. I wanted to make sure that the picture does not apperar like overall misfocused (see large).

J'ai souhaité saisir, et si possible donner à ressentir, cette atmosphère si particulière que l'on trouve dans ma région lors des fêtes de fin d'année. Le film Polaroid Blue était parfait pour cela, car avec ses couleurs presque irréelles, il ne pouvait que magnifier la féérie des décors et des lumières !

I wished to catch and give to feel the atmosphere so particular we find in my region during Christmas and New Year hollidays. The film Polaroid Blue was perfect for it, because with his almost unreal colors, he could glorify the enchantment of decorations and lights !

The Blue Project was initiated and created by "tripleZone" a Berlin based photographer. The project was published on the French website "Polaroid Passion"; see the announcement here www.polaroid-passion.com/galerie/triplezone/index.php?id=...

The 25 Blue's from the project are to be seen in the Polaroid Passion website Galerie

This is possibly a 15-16th century Silver Gilt finger ring my partner and I recently found at a metal detectorist rally/dig in the Cotswolds. The ring is currently in the process of being professionally processed and valued. This may take some time but all the feedback so far is looking positive. Photo taken using an iPhone 15 Pro Plus on the magnifier function. The ring was placed on an iPad screen under black out panels. All very Heath Robinson but hopefully gives an idea of its beauty. A similar example resides in the British Museum and another one was found on the Mary Rose which sank in battle in 1545 and raised in 1982.

Using a prism to magnify the pictures, why, because I am so bored and there is only so much Netflix you can watch

I like to photo corn, but do not often see oats; last year, this field was barley. As only 10 mins walk from my home, need to revisit with tripod, cable release, 2x viewfinder magnifier, and use exposure delay mirror up.

So these images exploratory.

Looking across the river Deveron to the big house of Auldtown.

There is a tiny dot trotting down the tilled field of sprouting barley far right, it is a Roe deer and its shadow.

I loved the sight of the fresh green just starting to break out beside the river and on the tilled fields.

I have put this file up quite large so you can zoom right in but you still need a magnifier to see it is a deer. It must have wondered into shot as I was setting up as I hadn't seen it before processing at home.

An Ensign Midget Silver Jubilee S33 Camera. The front of the camera is less than two inches wide, and one and a quarter inches tall.

It’s missing the flip-up frame finder on top; the black magnifier glass for the reflective finder that swings out on the right, and the whole of the back/film casing.

Designed and marketed to women - to look good in silver and fit easily into a small handbag. It was owned by my grand-mother.

I tried more creative compositions, but decided it’s better/more interesting to see the dials on the camera almost head on, with the f stops, shutter speed and focus ring.

The Midget taken by a Macro Takumar 50/4.

here is the fully accesorised version! custom eotech holo/scope setup, detailed PEQ, silencer, and lots of wear, scratch buff marks. Lemme know what you think! and thanks as always to beck for the shaded rails

and yes... it's .6

this is the reference for the optics, I know it's not exact, but the demensions and spacing are. :)

HMM- the macro mondays group's theme for today is Translucent. this is one of the possibilities. and no, that is not dirt on your screen-- it's on the ruler/bookmark/magnifier

The drip helps to get things in focus.

A compact, suppressed, assault rifle chambered in the popular calibre 7.62x39mm. Uses the basic operating principles of your everyday AK-platform rifle but distinctly features a recoil-mitigation stock, short-can suppressor (S-3 "Hushpuppy") and a red-dot sight with a built in folding magnifier (RD-14 "Mercer").

Raindrops like little magnifiers on the Smokebush Leaves. I begin to see colour starting to change.

Seen in my Periodontists office. This little android did my deep under the gums cleaning before blasting off.

A tiny flower, less than 5mm across. It's not the quality of this macro image (there are macro lenses that could do sharper), but the look on the flower's face that got me! Taken with a Meyer-Optik Gorlitz 50/1.8 and Raynox M250 magnifier.

I decided to try the more complex goose model in Origami For The Connoisseur by Kunihiko Kasahara and Toshie Takahama. This is the model I had previously referred to as the pinhead goose. I don't know why both models have the title Goose as it seems likely to make someone think it is the same model (as once I did).

I have difficulty viewing things on the written page, especially if they are small, because I have double vision. On the screen I can blow up the text big enough to read and often use the computer's magnifier for videos. I managed to get about half way through the model before the directions were impossible to read. I found a video of the model and finished it. Then I built it again straight from the video to make sure I didn't miss anything the first time. It was a cleaner fold, but essentially the same, even though the sheet was way out of square. Both folded from 20cm paper. This goose was much more satisfying than the first one, even with the pinhead.

What is it with all of these bird feet, though? I have yet to fold a model that remains standing for more than a second without the aid of a clip. If you see a photo of a standing Montroll bird in my photostrean there is a hidden anchor or it is resting on its tail.

.

The iPhone has a magnifier app in its utilities.

When I stopped in at Trifecta to stock up on beans I thought I'd see what using the magnifier might be like.

It'll take a temporary photo from which a screenshot can be grabbed.

Kind of odd but interesting.

Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday!
